Not a lot

 To say...busy listing bike bits. I have almost got all of these chainrings on fleabay.  


All assorted, all needed cleaning! Next up some brakes and bits and bobs, then some things I need help with gathering all the relevant bits together so that I can sell them as one unit.

A book sold yesterday..AJCronin, The Stars Look Down.  Time to look out a few more that I don't need to keep, and that will be economic to post!!

We had a little foray a few days ago picking brambles and rewarded ourselves with an ice cream...sat up on a hill to eat it and enjoy the view.


And on Wednesday we went to the Velodrome, for Pirate to try out his new saddle...only for 25 laps total of rolling around with only a couple of others there, and two of the in house coaches.

Getting back on the track helped him physically and mentally. It means he can deal with what he has with a tad more equanimity!!

We came back with a gift if a bag of windfall eating apples....time to get juicing!!

Ice cream on a hill can't be beaten :) I love this apple time of year, so many possibilities. Good to hear about P on his bike too.

Is your eBay link correct—leads me to rixo-gwyn but there are no items listed? I’m not in the market for bike parts of course, just enjoy looking. You do such a beautiful job cleaning and presenting them!

I’ve thought of selling more books too—the only reasonable postage rates…

That is odd Fresca...just tried the link myself and it shows all 69 items there....must put a lot more on this weekend...80% less sale fees until midnight Monday....

Hm… that is weird. I just tried again—same results. Maybe it’s an international issue? Though I know I’ve accessed your eBay before. If you want to send me a direct link I could try again? I was just curious though-/if no other blogger is looking and having problems it doesn’t matter.
Best to you and Pirate—nice to see you’re out and about on bikes!!!
My #agingGoal too!

Fresca I wonder if you go on eBay and search for rixo-gwyn?
It would be interesting to see what that turned up

Fresca said...

So weird—there’s rixo-gwyn but it’s blank-/says “seller does not have any items for sale”

PS otherwise my eBay is normal—just bought another doll…
But maybe it’s just me?
A mystery
